RED ROOM WRITING

By Bernie sanders, in his book "our revolution" which is a great read. Politics matter, and you see how much it matters when you take a look at how much money is funneled into campaigns. We think it's a game, but the elite knows how much is on the line. This was a huge reason why ill never understand how people decided to vote for Hillary over sanders. Just look at where the funding came from, and the answers are quite clear who she would've represented. #bernielivesmatter

Bday dinner last night. Known these dudes for over 10 years. We gonna drop the sickest mixtape you ever heard. Fuck yeezy. Thank you for coming out last night. Since we're all gonna die real soon, we're going to make this year count. Camping in March. #jasminebillsgang #neverforget #noragrets #birthdayboylivesmatter (at City Tavern - Culver City)

This past weekend I wrapped up the fourth walking and socialization class I've been a part of, and most proudly, the first one that I led. Sure, the dogs did great, but most importantly my pride comes from knowing that I can be of service and that every single person in this picture knows those four dogs so much more than when we started. In 6 weeks these dogs went from not being able to be around each other to walking together, meeting new dogs, and overcoming many of the fears that surround their daily lives. Im humbled by the vulnerability that these wonderful owners came with and the knowledge that they're leaving with. I'm grateful for the amazing support crew that is the staff surrounding me, who's talent and compassion helped me carry my voice through to the owners. I'm excited for these four dogs, who leave with a strong foundation and an understanding of what it's like to be in right relationship with their owners; on their path to great growth. Proud of myself for finding my confidence to do what I know, and allow my words to empower others. #thezendog #therearenobaddogs #exceptforgoetze

Ban guns now

Still behind on reading at least one book a month. Finally finished the Revenant. NOTHING like the movie. If you enjoy reading extremely detailed history, this book could be for you. Don't pick it up if you're hoping for the dramatic, revenge-filled story the movie was. I did enjoy reading and noticing how and why the movie was changed from the original story. One example, in this book(which although it's fiction, Michael Punke, attempts to stay true to the story of Hugh Glass) Glass doesn't have a son. That was all fabricated in the movie to create more of an emotional connection to the idea of revenge. In the book, all glass wants is revenge for being abandoned, and mostly for his stolen rifle. Not a fun read, but a decent one.

I challenge you to find a dog that looks happier than Jade does #JadeBear (at Eaton Canyon Trail & Waterfall)

Left to right (Kingston, Nama, Pierre, Göetze, Daeja Blue). When I first met these dogs(Göetze not included) I had no idea what I was doing. Now, over a year and a half later, I still don't REALLY know I'm doing. But I've learned a lot and I've been able to help a lot of dogs that just needed a hand, a boost of confidence, a safe place to reset, or just someone to care for them. It's quite humbling to think that ages ago we were monkey and they were wolves. We are no longer those things, and yet the mutual respect and admiration for one another, the NEED for each other is just as strong as it was to our un-evolved selves. Here's to doing what you love, and loving what you do. Also, yes, it IS creepy to have five dogs staring at you like that.

The second cutest thing in the entire world, Jaaaade. #JadeBear

One of my favorite pictures of all time. I had no idea this was being taken. It was a long day that was part of a long week. I just fell asleep and next thing I knew the dogs had decided to nap with me. Thank you to my love @aubreeakemi for always providing me with the space and energy for me to just be tired and vulnerable and never feel guilty about it. You are my pillar. Also, Göetze sleeps like that out of habit sometimes. As a puppy he would nap on my chest when we would go to the beach to pickup on girls. It worked then and clearly still works now. #göetzethepit

Happy Mother's Day to this sexy, charming, caring, dog-whispering little thing. Without you, these damn dogs would run all over me. Thanks for holding it down, shawty.

Coming to a screen near you soon. 51/366

Need for my birthday next month. Please and thank you #dicklivesmatter 48/366

Take it slow guys. You barely just met #THEZENDOG #göetzethepit 48/366 (at THE ZEN DOG)

BL5- Dulce's history tells me that she's hurt a number of dogs now. But Göetze is Göetze and after they met and played like they've been besties for a while, they took a break at our organic, gluten-free and vegan watering hole. And it's never easy to snap two dogs drinking together sooo. #THEZENDOG #göetzethepit 47/366 (at THE ZEN DOG)
